I used to have a volume named amnesiac that was my audio hard disk. Then, I got another new drive and I had, System, Audio, and Video volumes (all separate drives). Now, however i am back to two drive as my original 80gb died. So now I have System and Audio drives.

However, ever since i got rid of "Amnesiac" (I think I just renamed it in the finder) it has not dissappeared. It still appears as a mountpoint in /Volumes and no matter how many times I delete it, it comes back.

This has been the case across a couple of system reinstalls as well. Where is this rogue volume coming from and how can I get rid of it?

[G4-400:/Volumes] tsb% cat /etc/fstab.hd
IGNORE THIS FILE.
This file does nothing, contains no useful data, and might go away in
future releases. Do not depend on this file or its contents.
[G4-400:/Volumes] tsb% cat /etc/fstab
cat: /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
[G4-400:/Volumes] tsb%

???

edit: The Powerbook also have the fstab.hd file

In /Volumes i still have all the names on evey volume on my machine, many of them are partitions that was on the disk berfore i have formatted it..

I'm still thinking of the reason of the /etc/fstab file on my powerbook, and the only reason I could find is that i'm also running GNOME on it (in x11), (but that also sounds strange, because this shouldn't be created by the window manager.???)

I'm running fsck about every month, and it has been there since i reformatted the drive.. I can't mount them, but they aren't making any troubles at all. (The macine never asks about them..)
I haven't tried to delete the files either...

I have to blank this machine and reinstall OSX, because I'm giving it to my brother as soon as i get my new iMac.
